There was 1 bartender and 1 server covering the area. It took forever to have our order taken and to get to water and or food. I wasn't impressed with my meal either. I had the aged cheddar grilled cheese. There was barely any cheese on the sandwich - it was 95% apple slices and fig jam. They didn't even bother to take the sticker off the apple. I would not recommend this dish. My husband enjoyed his french onion soup; his Reuben was average. My family member enjoyed their steak sandwich. Maybe they had their holiday crew working given it was Thanksgiving weekend and that's why our experience wasn't that great. If I was here again, I'd want to sit in the main area in the back and order something different.

This was, sadly, not a good meal and based on expectations easily one of the most disappointing experiences I've had in recent memory. I came here yesterday with my top-tier chum from the Kingdom of Sussex, along with my #1 Honorary Young Pup Chum, fresh off a 20-mile walk down the Sussex Branch Rail Trail - so a bit tired and very hungry. Black Forest got me (and my appetite) in the best situation for them, in theory. Unfortunately it stayed just a theory. The atmosphere in here by far is the biggest selling point. I love a good taxidermy situation, and this place had it in droves. We were seated near a bear, and had eyes on numerous other wildlife, preserved for eternity. The stained glass throughout the restaurant is also pretty wild - it feels like you decided to go to church in a European hunting lodge. It's also deceptively large in there, which I discovered later as I tried to locate the bathroom (there is no signage for that) and wandered into two or three different dining rooms. Just wild and really does set this place apart from virtually any other restaurant in the area (maybe the far superior Walpack Inn can lay a claim?). I was intrigued by the Potato Pancakes w/ Applesauce on the appetizer menu, which ended up being the best item I ate. As you can see in the attached photo, they're basically big hash browns. They were good, and the applesauce made for an interesting palate combo. In what ended up being a bizarre theme throughout the meal, the accompanying applesauce came in a small plastic container that you had to open. This to me is one of the more egregious self-inflicted wounds I've seen from a restaurant, but also pretty fixable. This wasn't a crab shack at the beach or a taqueria in Newton - this is a restaurant with white tablecloths. Why aren't you serving the accompanying sides in a nicer dish, like a ramekin? What makes it more mystifying is that they HAD ramekins or something similar - they served the wrapped butter for the stale dinner rolls in it. I genuinely don't have a clue what the thought process was, but it honestly cheapened the optics and is something they should stop doing immediately. For my entree, I went classic German with the veal wienerschnitzel and a side of spatzle. The wienerschnitzel itself was fine - I've honestly had better from a food truck in Jersey City called Mordi's (I just checked and sadly they've closed), but it had no sauce or anything so it was super dry and overall not that tasty as a result. It would have even been an upgrade to get one of their infamous plastic containers of basically any condiment. The spatzle was honestly terrible; I had an excellent version of this at an Austrian restaurant in FiDI called Schilling (which has now converted to a French restaurant, apparently; I can't with these closures. Lord.), and this was just utterly tasteless. My chum likened it to "brain noodles," meaning the noodles you'd use in a blindfold game around Halloween. Fair, but even some of those probably had some flavor to them. Huge miss. I'm not sure why I kept going at this point but I decided to end this situation with the Black Forest Cake. It was a little stale (maybe it's kept in the same area as the dinner rolls?), but it was okay. Could have been worse, so I'm taking that as a victory of sorts. The chocolate mousse within it got positive remarks from my other dining companions in the context of their items, so that's probably the play if you're hitting up the dessert menu. The service was mediocre. Our waitress was very nice when she came to our table, which was infrequent. It seemed like she was waiting for food to come out (which took a while) as the context for a visit, rather than taking initiative to check on us. The Young Pup Chum waited close to 15 minutes for a second soda, which shouldn't have happened, especially given that we were there at a VERY slow time (just before 4pm). And the price point was honestly close to insulting. Neither of us are opposed to plunking down some Jacksons for a nice meal, but getting a bill for $200 (plus tip!) for not great food was not a fun feeling to close out our afternoon. I hate to end this on a dark note, but given that my two recommendations for German food in the area have both closed, you might not have much of a choice but to come here if you're hankering for schnitzel.

Also, the bowling shoes were very cute looking! When we first arrived our lanes weren't ready yet, so we went into the restaurant to order food and drinks. By the time we ordered our lanes were ready and our waiter easily moved our order to our lane numbers so our food and drinks were delivered promptly. The waiters and waitresses that helped us throughout the whole evening were super kind and super attentive. Even on a crowded Saturday night. The drinks were good, and as to be expected the food was bowling alley food but that's not really what you are coming for. We all had a great night at a super fun bowling alley!

Four floors and the location was amid a convention center. The rooms were excellent. Staff professional. All the other trappings of a Residence Inn on point. No hot tub in the pool area which was disappointing - but the heated pool (uncommon) was a nice touch. I'll absolutely be back when in the area for work. Couple of notes that are likely cost cutting measures by corporate: 1) No paper towels in the kitchenette section of the room. Kind of annoying. 2.) I know it's been happening over time, but the elimination of face/body lotion from the rooms is something I keep forgetting about. Full service Marriott properties and JWs have it. But now it seems Residence Inns have joined Courtyards and Fairfield properties in this way. I'm sure over the millions of properties these measures add up to real dollars. But it seems the nickel and diming could be made up in other ways. But, like I said, I'm sure there is a global .xls sheet somewhere that could change my mind.
